With Sara Hall being off the team you are clearly not sending the best team to Tokyo. Is there anyone that can argue against that? So why having trials if who you send is not your best team? Can anyone at least try to argue how the current team *is* the best possible one. Because I cannot.
And I know the trials in the US seem like the holy cow that cannot be touched but then please do not whine when you never even get close to medalling in the marathon where the trials being run on such a ridiculous course produced such flukes. Anyhow if I was from the US I'd be really unhappy to see a 2:20 woman who has been so consistent recently not going. She could compete for a medal. Its quite the insanity.
